New Silhouette/Cricut/Die Cutter Linky Party Announcement!

This may be the most selfish blog party I've ever hosted. Let's keep that between us, okay?

I thought it might be neat to host a party where crafty bloggers could link up any tips, tricks, or projects they might have that are "crafty cutter" related. It will be like having an entire library of fabulousness at my your disposal. See how selfish generous I am? {wink}

Tips on how to use software, make supplies last longer, rig your machine up to do special stuff

Ways you organize your supplies

The I {Heart} My Crafty Cutter party will open on Monday, February 21st, at 9 am (ET) and will close at 10 pm (ET) on Friday, February 25th. So, if you're like me and are still learning to use your Silhouette (or haven't seen your Cricut in awhile), you have some time to work things out before the first party launches!

Because I spent this month's budget on the nanny's fees and the Rolls Royce payment, the prize for participants is small, but I did want to offer something!

*Anyone who links up and includes a link back to me OR my party button in their post will be entered to win a $10 Gift Card to Starbucks and a Coffee Cozie in your choice of colors from Stitch Sense Designs. Because everyone knows that crafting is more fun with a fancy drink, and why shouldn't you accessorize your to-go mug?! It's not much, but my way of saying thank you to those of you who take the time to join the party.

Here's the button code if you want to add it to your blog to help me get the word out! If things go well, we might make this a monthly thing.

Don't have a Silhouette machine yet? If you go shopping, be sure to use the code SERENITY. Click on my Silhouette button and see what this baby can do!

{Hope to see you on the 21st!}

*Come back tomorrow to link up YOUR best post of the week to Weekend Bloggy Reading and get an extra entry in this week'sValentine's Scentsy Giveaway*

Yay! I wish I had a crafty cutter to enter! Maybe someday :-) I can't wait to see what other people's tips & tricks are though so I know where to come to once I do get one :-) Thanks for the feature & giveaway opportunity! :-)

I don't have one of these things but can't wait to see everyone's projects. Everytime I see what someone has made with one of these I think I should get one. I love all the really neat stuff I've seen. Looking forward to it.

You could also call this the "Make Me Feel like a Crafty Loser" LOL only kidding, I love looking at everyone's ideas...if only they would become more than ideas to me! Looking forward to another great linky partay!

Girl, you are stealing my heart! I have yet to use my Silhouette that I got for Christmas. I have spent a good amount of time perusing their online store and trying to figure things out, but I have yet to actually fire 'er up! Hopefully this will help me out a bit. I definitely feel intimidated. ;)

This is Me

I'm a stay-at-home mom of three kids, a fluffy Pomeranian, and a rambunctious German Shepherd puppy. Happily married to T. We live in Virginia, but I secretly dream of what it would be like to have a place in NYC to escape to for random girls' shopping weekends. Target is my home away from home. I stay sane by doing creative projects around my home and taking lots of pictures. Stick around for realistic inspiration...on a budget!
